In Hawaii, even the leadership of the Republican Party is fleeing from the Republican nominee for Congress.
The chair of the Hawaii Republican Party is urging party members to disavow the candidacy of the GOP nominee for the 2nd Congressional District, which represents the neighbor islands and rural Oahu.
“I want it understood by the general public and the media that the recent inflammatory comments made by candidate for Congress (CD2) Angela Kaaihue do not represent the views, values, or the sentiments of our Party and its members,” Fritz Rohlfing said in a statement issued late Friday.
And what did Ms. Kaalhue say?
And:
Kudos to the Republican leadership for backing away — but how on earth did somebody so odious, so racist, so fanatical, get nominated in the first place? Ms. Kaalhue is who the Republicans have become; they probably just didn’t realize until it was too late that she’s too stupid to hide what she really thinks.
